As a member of the Beta Club and as a citizen
of my community, state, and nation I believe in and shall strive to promote the
principles of:
Honesty:
Knowing that honesty is necessary to the formation of good character, and
that the principles of honesty dictate that I not only refrain from acts of
dishonesty; but that I perform my duties fully and take advantage of the
opportunities afforded me by my circumstances
Justice:
Believing that it is only right and proper that I should be just and fair in
my dealings with my fellowman; that I should condemn no one without giving him a
chance to defend himself; and that I should consider all factors before forming
an opinion of another's motives, or before passing judgment upon his actions
Service:
Being convinced that the rendering of helpful service to my fellowman is a
duty and privilege conferred upon me by my forbears and by my environment, and
that I can attain lasting satisfaction only by rendering such service to the
best of my ability
Cooperation:
Knowing that I must work closely and in a friendly manner with others in this
day of highly organized social and economic endeavor; and that I must respect
authority and strive at all times to be dependable-if I am to be of greatest
helpfulness to society
Responsibility:
Believing that full happiness is possible only through full acceptance of
responsibility for my actions and for preserving and passing my rich inheritance
on to coming generations
Industriousness:
Bbeing aware of the of the fact that-if I am to be a factor for progress in my
community and a real help to my associates-my mind must be alert to understand
and my hands ready to perform promptly and fully the tasks that come my way
Humility:
Being convinced that humbleness of spirit is the only proper attitude for me
to maintain in my relation with my associates, and that such spirit and attitude
will make for my own peace of mind and for the well-being of those with whom I
come in contact
Charity:
Knowing that if I am-
Tolerant in my appraisal of the ideas of others;
Generous in the use of my worldly assets;
Considerate of the rights of others;
Courteous in my actions toward all alike;
Gentle in my efforts to correct errors in others;
Kind in the exercise of my duties-
I shall then be better able to contribute to the happiness of myself and others.
